Multiple daily injection insulin therapy frequently fails to meet hospital glycemic goals and is prone to hypoglycemia. Automated insulin delivery (AID) with remote glucose monitoring offers a solution to these shortcomings. In a single-arm multicenter pilot trial, we tested the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of the Omnipod 5 AID System with real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for up to 10 days in hospitalized patients with insulin-requiring diabetes on nonintensive care unit medical-surgical units.

Upper extremity veins are important in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) due to their potential use to create vascular accesses. However, unlike arteries, the contribution of CKD-associated factors to the chronic remodeling of veins has been barely studied.
